Long story short. I planned a 10 night stay at this cabin. From Aug 13th-23rd. It is 14.2 miles from the road to the cabin. 9 miles in, after driving on perfectly graveled roads, the road gets BAD. We were driving a 2013 gmc acadia FWD hauling a 4x8 trailer. HUGE pot holes, HUGE LONG crevasses in the road due to rain wash out, large rocks... our car BARELY made it to the cabin. Our check engine light came on, the car was overheating, stalling, chugging... it was bad. We stayed 2 nights and had to leave because we didn't want to be stuck just at the cabin. We planned on seeing yellowstone too but unfortunately our car is still messed up and stalling (8-27-23). We ended up getting a full refund for our stay but that doesn't make up for the memories my kids should have had! We live in michigan and traveled over 1,700 miles with no problems until the last 5 miles to get to the cabin. The ranger I spoke with told me visitors try to drive their sedans to the cabin. DONT DO IT! Now onto the actual cabin review. It was breathtaking! Knowing we practically got the mountain to ourselves was such an amazing thought. Our kids did enjoy the 2 days we did get to stay there. You cannot beat the view or the stars at night. I plan on going back if I have a 4 wheeler or 4wd lifted truck I can drive lol. Seriously though, the road was the only thing that ruined our stay and had us stressed out. The government needs to update the description and add that it is not accessible by regular car or FWD.

Fell victim to FS false advertising. It’s an ATV trail to the cabin. We chose not to beat the mess out of our 4 wheel drive truck about halfway in. Weren’t prepared to hike in. Feel like I’m owed a refund on my 2 night reservation since I was duped.
